Spring 1106 – Jul. 12 1109. An inscription is placed in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, recoding how, as a reward for their assistance in the taking of Acre, King Baldwin I gives the Genoese, who had helped acquire Jerusalem, Antioch, Latakia, Tortosa, Solinum and Gibellum, a vicus in Jerusalem and Jaffa and a third part of Caesarea, Assur and Acre.

Comments: 
[20] Mayer (loc. cit.) has led the way in questioning the authenticity of this inscription. Its leading supporter has been Kedar (loc. cit.), who has had the better of the argument in my opinion, although the reported wording of the inscription looks doubtful. See Pringle, The Churches 3:65-6.
